Yeah we really need Varane, CDM & Sancho this summer but lucky to get one of themThey are both fairly hefty fees though. When we could have gone big on a real game changer.
No Grealish says it allVilla have fallen off a cliff. They were very close to top 4 with 2 or 3 games in hand at one point.
To be fair a number of players from both sides should have been sent off earlier in the game. The ref was generally lenient.Player who should have been sent off gets the winner, you could see it coming a mile off
Didn't City lose to 10 man Leeds barely 2 weeks ago? City also had to hang on to get a point in the return match earlier in the season.We are light years behind them in terms of quality of football. Sad, but true. Watching the Leeds match earlier proves that, the performances are shocking.

Results wise we've improved, however the quality of football compared to City has been nowhere near good enough over the course of the whole season.Didn't City lose to 10 man Leeds barely 2 weeks ago? City also had to hang on to get a point in the return match earlier in the season.
Just looking at your posting history.Results wise we've improved, however the quality of football compared to City has been nowhere near good enough over the course of the whole season.
I thought today the performance was appalling, absolute zero quality on the pitch.
Aye, squad just not good enough by the looks of it. Maybe some miracle-worker could have kept them up but 2 managers have had a go at it now, neither capable of getting the kind of points per game required.That's West Brom pretty much relegated.
100%.A Sam Allardyce team being one step closer to exiting the Premier League is always worth celebrating
They'd have stayed up with what they have now imo. Think it's 11 points they have from last 8 games so much better form than us and most of the bottom half. Likes of Maitland Niles, Yokuslu and Diagne all improved them.Aye, squad just not good enough by the looks of it. Maybe some miracle-worker could have kept them up but 2 managers have had a go at it now, neither capable of getting the kind of points per game required.
Bilic = Played 13, 7 points, 0.54 points per game, full season at that rate = 20 points
Allardyce Played 20, 18 points, 0.90 points per game, full season rate = 34 points
Allardyce isn't massively off-pace and if they'd have hung on today he'd be at a point a game which sometimes is enough across a whole season but that's not a very good squad at all.
From the early exchanges both teams committed fouls that should have been booked and ref was happy to let play continue. Even if Laporte’s was first, that wouldn’t undo the potential red card for the Spurs player.Not before Laporte there wasn't no
The two Reguillon incidents were both before Laporte.Not before Laporte there wasn't no
What two Reguillon incidents? The fact nothing was highlighted during the game about any yellow card offense before his first yellow I'd suggest you're seriously clutching at strawsThe two Reguillon incidents were both before Laporte.
Silly narrative, both would have avoided the second challenge if they were on the yellows they should have been given. Laporte did what he did precisely because he could afford to
He had a similiar foul on Foden to the one Laporte got his yellow for.What two Reguillon incidents? The fact nothing was highlighted during the game about any yellow card offense before his first yellow I'd suggest you're seriously clutching at straws
well like I said nothing was said about it during commentary so I'm gonna guess you're reachingHe had a similiar foul on Foden to the one Laporte got his yellow for.
Some minutes later he completely missed a tackle on De Bruyne and the ref showed him with his hands that he will get carded since it was his second incident. Laporte got the same treatment, got away with one and then got carded for the 2nd. Complete non-story besides the fact that the ref was way too lenient with both sides.
Okay mate, allthough for future reference I would recommend watching the game with your own eyes rather than someone like Martin Tyler telling you what you are seeing.well like I said nothing was said about it during commentary so I'm gonna guess you're reaching
I did watch the game and it's because the commentators didn't make a big deal about whatever it is you're referring to it didn't hit my radar, like I said it seems like you're reachingOkay mate, allthough for future reference I would recommend watching the game with your own eyes rather than someone like Martin Tyler telling you what you are seeing.
For what it's worth the commentary team in my region did focus on it, atleast until half-time where the focus on twitter etc. had changed to the Laporte fouls. A good reason for that, in my opinion, is that it is rarely a story if the team that is inferior is having someone sent off, however if the team on top (which City very much were in that first-half especially) gets reduced to ten men it most likely will alter the game greatly.
But as previously stated by me and many others on here, Laporte nor Reguillon would be likely to engage in those type of fouls if they were already on a yellow. Laportes second foul was especially cynical in that regard.
So you and me are watching this game.Palace 1-0, zaha.
Looks that way something to watch before work.So you and me are watching this game.

Get a roomCrikey we have gained 28 points from a losing position. Leicester a distant second on 16 pts.
Leicester looking to leave the door ajar for those chasing top 4?Palace 1-0, zaha.
23 minutes is early to be fizzling out.Games got a bit shit, started well but it's just sorta, fizzled out now
